Words and music by Georg Kajanus 1975
Capo 3
D G D G
[Verse 1]
G D G D
I guess I'm an old-fashioned dreamer,
D A
walking the street on my own,
A D G D
out of date, like the old-fashioned steamer,
D A D
no longer feeling at home.
[Chorus]
D G D A D
For now romance has gone, time races on, but I still remember
D A D G
the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G D A D
and the old nickelodeon sound.
D A D A A A7 D A
D A D A A A7 D
[Chorus]
D G D A D
The old cobblestone street echoes of feet like distant reminders,
D A D G
of the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G D A D
and the old nickelodeon sound.
[Verse 2]
D G D
There used to be all kinds of places,
D A
where people like me used to go,
A D G D
full of rough but friendly old faces,
D A D
looking for someone to know.
[Chorus]
D G D A D
But now, they only belong in old films or songs almost forgotten,
D A D G
like the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G D A D
and the old nickelodeon sound.
D A D A A A7 D A
D A D A A A7 D
[Chorus]
D G D A D
The old cobblestone street echoes of feet like distant reminders,
D A D G
of the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G D A D D7 G D A A A7 D
and the old nickelodeon sou........nd.
